This week marks 10 years since the original ARK: Survival Evolved opened its doors to Survivors! Today the ARK universe expands once again as ‘Genesis Part I’ arrives on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, delivering the massive mission-based expansion to mobile players for the very first time. Since its release, the mobile title has exceeded 6.1 million downloads across iOS and Android platforms.
Developed by Grove Street Games in collaboration with Studio Wildcard, this content drop brings the same rich world-building, exotic biomes, and survival gameplay as seen on PC and console—now optimized for on-the-go play. ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition is available for all mobile survivors on the App Store® and Google Play Store™.
In Genesis Part I, Survivors awaken inside a mysterious virtual simulation alongside their robotic companion HLN-A. To survive, players must complete a wide variety of story-driven missions that test combat, exploration, and strategy across deadly environments—from eerie bogs and fiery volcanoes to deep oceans and low-gravity lunar terrain. Along the way, they’ll encounter strange new creatures like magma-breathing Magmasaurs, giant sea turtles, and even space whales.
